Darn, we've barely started getting acquainted with Tegra 2, yet NVIDIA seems to already be preparing the stage for a sort of Tegra 2.5 -- a 1.2GHz dual-core chip that'll be marketed as a 3D-capable mobile processor. This T25 silicon is apparently set for mass production in the first quarter of this year, with availability coming up in the spring. Given the noises we keep hearing about 3D going mobile, this is one rumor that makes a lot of sense -- and even if you're a staunch supporter of the 2D creed, you can't deny that a sped-up Tegra 2 CPU sounds pretty delicious.

The dual core A9 platform supposedly uses less power than a single core A8 SoC.

If so, then great but except for benchmarks, the single a9 would probably have the same performance as the dual core and consume much less power. all i'm saying is that there is no need to push for power when the OSes are rather poorly optomised.

I do agree with your opinions.Thanks for your appreciation.I really appreciate for giving this information.Very well said, thanks for all.I will try my best.I expect you will also give this type of information in future

honestly, i think the arm cortex a8 was certainly enough. if they just take that and reduce the power usage, then that would be amazing. right now for smartphones, the software is the bottleneck

Who said anything about smartphones? Smartphones are pointless, the screens are too samll to be productive, it takes at least 5 (being generous)times as long to find the same info on the net using a smartphone as it does using a pc. Bring on the tablets that behave like laptops.
